The biggest brain dead consumer trait - Incel - 17-04-2025
Buying Physical Movies, Buying TV Shows, Buying CDs
I will even give pass for video games even though PS4 Pro with jailbroken Mod can play anything from PS1 to PS4 PRO games which is more than enough if you are not a consumer ape
but you can never get a pass for the mentioned above, its just too low iq + worthless to buy these things
RE: The biggest brain dead consumer trait - infinite expansiveness - 17-04-2025
playing console games or watching movies/shows
RE: The biggest brain dead consumer trait - n9wiff - 17-04-2025
Yup, true.

why? you are already consooming, unless you are really broke it shows mental illness that you would pirate something easily accessible like a movie or a videogame.

The prices of these things compound in the long run
+
Some games have better performance if you pirate them
+
Some things are exclusive to streaming services so unless you wanna pay premium for shipping + bluray disc, pirating a blu Ray rip and give you better hassle free experience
Also Slavoj Zizek pirates his movies too!

I only pay for indie games that have respectful philosophy now
I regret buying a lot of AAA corporate slop games.

It's fun to get something for $0
Especially if the content creator planned to get rich on it
RE: The biggest brain dead consumer trait - kathisterima - 17-04-2025
it's not fun it's a hassle
buying stuff and being legal feels much better

Haven't tried it, all my GTA games historically since 2003 were bootleg
RE: The biggest brain dead consumer trait - n9wiff - 17-04-2025
It's not a hassle at all

It's not about being broke or not, money adds up. The more stuff I get for free the more money I save + the more I can spend the money on things that I can't get for free

Also copying is not Theft, because technically the person still has his file.
RE: The biggest brain dead consumer trait - Honest - 17-04-2025
it's generally the opposite. people who dont watch many films can purchase physical copies; people who watch many films need to torrent or stream them. exception is collectors.
RE: The biggest brain dead consumer trait - RuudVanNistelrooy - 17-04-2025
I always admired collector rooms full of old CD's with booklets, cartridges and old computers, old gaming magazines and such, it's like a mini museum and a shrine of nostalgia.
